Stop-motion save the date

When Trent Bailey Photography mentioned that he was thinking about offering a stop-motion film to his clients, we knew we had to team up. You’ll remember our couple from the cozy couples’ shower last month. Mike and Amber moved to Brooklyn from Manhattan a few years ago, and have enthusiastically embraced their Brooklynite identities. After chatting a bit with them about what they were thinking for their save the date, we decided that a Brooklyn-themed stop-motion save the date was in order. We wanted to showcase their time in Brooklyn since they are moving back to San Francisco (where Miya and Mike went to college together ages ago) next year. We also wanted to provide their guests a glimpse into how sweet and funny Mike and Amber are together. Sam Cooke has been on repeat since this summer, and we all thought “That’s Why I Love You So” would be a perfect song to use. Using quotes that they provided about one another, we came up with this save the date for them (our logos will be removed when they send it out, obviously).

This was the first of what we hope will be many videos, since You + ME* and Trent Bailey Photography have officially teamed up to offer stop motion save the dates to brides- and grooms-to-be who are looking for something unexpected for their save the date.

Trent Bailey and You + Me* are sponsors of Brooklyn Bride

And all I sent out was some crappy postcard STD. This is brilliant; any couple that sees this will do a stop motion save the date. Jealous.
